Elves Live In The  Land     
      Beyond The  Great Dam.      
  It Was  Built In The  Late  Sixties.  
     The Elves Came To Us  Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids Would  Play Down  At The Water Even 
 Though We Were  Not Allowed.       
    Sometimes  The  Sluice Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River  At  The Dams 
 Foot Would  Dry  Up, Revealing The Rocky 
 Water   Garden  That  Had   Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
       Before The  Dam  Opened Again, 
 There Would Be  A Signal, But  The Elves 
 Would Make Us Not Hear It, And  Suddenly 
 We Would Find  The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our  Knees.               
                      
   By Then  The Elves  Would Be  Gone.
